I got an offer with a promotional code in the envelope for $100 that was good for that value until Dec. 4th, and after that date it would drop to $75 and remained there available to be used until Dec. 31; but after that date if the remaining $75 would not be used it would be deleted automatically. So yesterday I tried to fill out the boxes necessary to activate the ads and have them placed online and when all was filled and clicked on “Save and activate”, a long red-box said something like: “Sorry, your account is too old to be eligible to redeem this coupon.” I was like, are you kidding me?! Where did that come from? I don’t what that was about about, but I just recently opened my checking account 7 days before, and had never used AdWords before, only AdSense, so could it have been referring to the fact that I have been using my Gmail account for too long as in, for 2 some years now? Can anyone explain what is going on? Because I tried to get from somebody at Google by phone and online, but so far no success. Has this ever happened to you or someone you know, or maybe you had the opportunity to help someone with an issue like this recently? Thanks in advance
I am sure they can answer your question on the official adword forum http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdWords?hl=en&utm_source=awo&utm_campaign=uk-en-ha-ecm_u2u&utm_medium=sem&utm_term=adwords%20forum
I believe I can shed some light on this for you! Very rarely, if ever, does ANYONE get phone assistance on any satisfactory level with Google Customer Support. Just the nature of the beast and because they are so BIG! Coupon codes are often disseminated for use without proper authorization or with limitation restrictions not being mentioned. Not hard to find another coupon offering out there as they are always looking for newbie prey in their income web lol. Coupons are great when it comes to getting familiar with Google and many other PPC advertising networks like Yahoo, Facebook etc. and how to play the game successfully.
Learn how to play by the rules, establish solid campaigns and Adgroups, know what it means to maintain high quality scores and above all else the correlation from your keyword, to ad to landing page. It’s ALL Critical to success!! Good Luck & I Hope This Helps You! To YOUR Adwords Success!
